Khan Academy was pretty good last time I used it, so I guess it's better than a no-name AI company.

Let’s think of the average parent that home schools their kid. I don’t believe for a second they’d do a better job than what is proposed here.
Of course not. No kid, let alone an adult, wants to listen to a soul-less robot for half the day. The schools cutting corners to pay teachers less is still an issue, for sure.
From what I’ve heard, they were basically allowing anything with a pulse to teach in AZ, so who knows, being taught by an occasionally hallucinating wiki engine might be an improvement over the wife of some national guard dude.
Sounds perfect for Arizona.
AI has it's usecases, but it's not currently at a place where students can be left alone with an AI. This is dumb.
At some point the AI says...fuck this guy, here color this shit and watch this movie. Eventually the student becomes a great painter.
Well, children will be as dumb as the Arizona State Board by the end of the year lol.
Let the charter schools try this first. Eventually something like this will be integrated into common education, but the first attempts are guaranteed to be disasters. Let those fall on 1/4 of learning time of a small subset of Arizonian charter school students and not "all California public school students" or the like.
Tbh I like this. We want to homeschool our kids because the education system sucks so much.
I can see this being the future...since they voted for it and all.
I've found Kahn pretty good, but do they use AI? As in LLMs, or just nural nets? And what does it tweak?
I preferred Khan when it had the knowledge web. Not everyone jives with gamification or personalization.
yeah that's what i expect from the state that produced kari lake.

Arizona Approved One Charter School’s Curriculum To ~~Will~~ Be Taught by AI, No Teachers
Fixed that joke of a clickbait headline.
I learned a whole year of highschool math in a week of holiday with KhanAcademy. Owned-paced curriculum would make school interesting for smart children and improve overall education. However it must be done wisely
Which grade between fourth and eighth were you in
Third.
Not funny
Twelfth grade material in the holiday between tenth and eleventh. Basically derivative, antiderivative, integral, matrices and complex numbers
